Activity for today's session:
Here are the Fusion Tables we will be creating in this session - if you get lost while building your own please feel free to go to these Fusion Tables to see what we are doing
BIA Tribal Contacts Fusion Table
Merged State Boundaries and Census Data
We will begin with a Google Spreadsheet of the BIA database providing the contact information for Tribes in the U.S. and use this to create a Fusion Table map
This is the Google Spreadsheet you are importing into your Fusion Table
Copy and paste this link into your Fusion Table import dialog box

You will get a Fusion Table that looks like this
With a little bit of editing you can use your Fusion Table to quickly create mailing labels
Here is an example of the map you will create using Fusion Tables and the BIA Tribal Directory
You can also filter the database and customize your map
